Valerie BNovember 29th 2017Joel and his team did an outstanding job negotiating multiple offers on my home. His approach to marketing with a sponsored social media advertising plan made all the difference. His office staff and photographer were amazing. They all seem to love working together and were pleasant every time I called or emailed. Jennifer Forbes worked with me to sell me my new home and she was professional, always on time and found me the perfect home. I would highly recommend them!5.00005

Mike PNovember 29th 2017I've used both Joel Semmens and Jennifer Forbes for several property transactions. They've given me the best support and give me honest advice about what to sell for and how much to pay, depending on what I'm doing. Property deal can be emotional for people, and any advice and guidance they've given me has been in my best interests; not just to get the deal done. Every deal I've ever made with them, I've come out on top so the results speak for themselves. I've recommended them to several of my colleagues and friends and they've all been very happy as well.5.00005

Dr. Anna BiziozMarch 17th 2017While living in France for a one-year term, we decided to initiate a custom home build in our hometown of Calgary. Joel's expertise, professionalism and dedication allowed us to proceed confidently despite being on a different continent for most of the lot-purchasing process. Joel carefully considered our intentions and ideas, ultimately finding us the absolute perfect location for our new home. Back in Calgary, we are now looking forward to seeing our build take shape.
During the entire process, Joel went above and beyond, proving to be incredibly insightful and comprehensive. He is an exceptionally strong advocate for his clients and we feel truly fortunate to have been guided through this process by someone as knowledgable, experienced and personable as Joel. We would absolutely and adamantly recommend him to others.

Kevin & Patti BrownMarch 17th 2017After 53 years (40 of them together), the time came to seriously consider selling our wonderful home in Briar Hill. So many experiences, memories and events with friends and family were tied up in this huge view lot on the ridge (friends often called it Brown National Park). But, life moves on and it was time to look ahead. We no longer needed so much space or wished to put in the time for upkeep and maintenance. Having experienced condo living at our vacation home in Victoria, we were pretty sure that was the direction we wished to move. A more urban lifestyle, with the freedom to travel and fewer responsibilities. Yet we wanted to maintain many of the best things about our house. A view, a comfortable amount of space, storage, outdoor living possibilities, accommodation for our cats and location were all important to us.
Calling Joel was the best move we made. He eased our jitters and patiently led us through the maze of both buying and selling with clear explanations. As first timers in real estate, he listened carefully to our wishes and was wonderful with advice, suggestions and recommendations for the connections to all the extra things that go along with a sale or purchase. He willing gave up much time to tour us around the city, looking at properties he felt might fit or that we were interested in. The on-line aspect of his business worked well for us, as we were able to stay in touch and view properties at our convenience. A real time saver! Finding the ideal place in the Beltline that checked all of our boxes went much more quickly than we thought. Within a month, we placed an offer. Selling went even faster – Joel quickly assessed the major sales features of our house and put his amazing marketing strategy into play. He is knowledgeable about market value and fair pricing, yet willing to negotiate to the owners’ wishes.
As we prepare to move into the next stage of our lives and leave the past behind, we are more than grateful to have had such an experienced, empathetic and helpful realtor on our side. We highly recommend him and the helpful people he works with.

RachelMarch 17th 2017There are many realtors to choose from in Calgary. This makes it really hard to know who to trust when selling or buying a home. Fortunately for us, we met Jennifer Forbes. Right away, we knew we could trust her. Extremely honest and knowledgable, she was able to successfully negotiate a real estate deal that exceeded our asking price. She expertly gathered multiple offers, and sold our house above market value. Jennifer then found us another home, and was able to guarantee a solid deal in the process. Throughout it all, Jennifer was a complete professional, listening to our needs and concerns. There was zero pressure to buy a home that wasn’t quite right. She is truly an expert in her field, and we have nothing but respect and admiration for her. In our opinion, Jennifer knows the Calgary market better than anyone. She is always friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask for Jennifer’s help in the future.
